Mrs. Pemberton was a sister of Mrs.
Miller, of this place, and her death
occurred two days before the death of
Mrs. S. c. Silsby, daughter of Mrs.
Miller. Mrs. Miller' life, for several
years, has been one Of continued grief.
First her husband died, before her ar
rival here, then at this place, daugh-
ter, Mrs. ]. L. Douthit, was called
away by deaths messenger, then in
a very few years son AL. Miller,
crossed the dark river, and now ere
time, the soother of sorrows for the
loss Of loved ones, had healed the
broken heart, she was again called up
on to carry another heavy burden of
grief over the death of daughter
and sister. 1t causes feeling of
deepest sympathy to spring up in the
heart of every one in this section to
witness the affections, which no human
ministrations can relieve, that Mrs.
Miller has had to bear.

New ORLEANS PICAYUNE:

New ORLEANS PIcAYUNE: The
American people, after proving by
long and terrible internecine war that
they were the bravest people in the
world, have since demonstrated that
they are the most generous. For an
example of this profound generosity,
witness the astounding spectacle of
the soldiers of the North and of the
South standing side by side to do
honor to the memories of their heroes
and patriots who have passed away.
Thus they have stood together and
strewed flowers over the graves of
the Federal and Confederate dead
alike. Thus they have stood around
the monuments of Grant and Han
cock, Lee and Sidney Johnston. All
differences are forgotten, all hostili-
ties banished, all hearts are united in
giving thanks at the restoration OF
American nationality and citizenship,
and all are rejoicing in the fame oi
American prowess and heroism as
contributing to the national glory. Il
is most meet that this should be so
1t was necessary that great sacrifices
should have been made to establish

AS another illustration of the life
that dwells in nature, let US briefly
consider earthquakes, said A. Ewbank
in a recent lecture. Volcanic
eruptions are usually preceded by
vast rumbiings, or jets of steam, or
other unmistakable tokens. The
peculiar terror of an earthquake lies
mainly in the suddenness of its ap-
proach. Hurricanes and cyclones
have heralds that announce their
coming. But with an earthquake
there are no premonitory symptoms.
The great earthquake which took
place at Lisbon in the year 1855
found the people engaged in their
ordinary occupations. All the shocks
were over in about FIVE minutes.
The first shock lasted about six Sec
onds. In that brief space of time
most of the houses had been thrown
down and thousands of men, women
and children crushed beneath the
ruins. At times the ocean lends
fresh terrors to the scene. Thus at
Lisbon a wave of water over fifty feet
high rushed in among the houses and
covered what still remained. In the
island of Jamaica on a different oc-
casion two thousand FIVE hundred
houses were buried in three minute.
under thirty feet of water. Recent
delicate scientific experiments have
discovered the fact that the surface
of the land is never absolutely a
rest for more than thirty hours at
time. Thus those great earthquake
which make epochs in history ar
merely extreme cases of forces tha
seldom sleep.

WIN. MURRY, who shot his wife in
this city the 23rd of last March will
have his trial at Haley next Thurs
day. Mrs. Murray is in town from
Rock Creek and will go to the coun-
ty seat next week. She has almost
entirely recovered from the effects of
the wounds. Her face is not at all
dlsfgured, as many at first supposed
it would be, and aside from a slight
change in her voice, caused by the
removal of several teeth, no perma-
nent injury will ensue. The bullet,
which lodged in the muscles of the
neck, will be removed by DR.. Kibbe

g1ne, the privilege of trading south to the extent of $5, ,000 per month as long as the war lasted, on the simple condition that he would seize an engine and carry it through, he (MitcheD supplying the men for the enterprise. Andrews did disclaim to the enemy that he intended to burn any bridges, or do any harm beyond the com paratively trifiing one of carrying of this engine.
 The defense was but feeble, though it was possibly as good as could be made under the circumstances. But the enemy had no notion that a Federal general like Mitchell would send his men away down to the heart of Georgia for an engine, when, as experience showed, he had been able to get them by the score in Kentucky and Alabama.
 No decision had been publicly rendered, when suddenly twelve of US were ordered to Knoxville, Tenn. Our parting with Andrews was sad and solemn, for we had little hope of meeting again, and our worst forebodings were realized. Before this we had been removed to Madison, Ga., under fear of an advance by Gen. Mitchell; and when we returned the great indulgence of a short daily airing in the noon, when the remaining nine were in the yard an unknown officer entered the gate and went quickly up to Andrews; without word he handed him paper contained in 8 large envelope, and turning away walked rapidly out of the yard. Andrews broke the seal and glanced at it, turning pale as marble. It was his death warrant! All who saw him felt that some tidings of evil had arrived, and the officer of the guard spoke very gently as he told them that it was now time to retire to their room. When there, Andrews gave his comrades the paper and they read the fearful intelligence. In one week-July The was to be executed by hangingl This was Saturday, and on the Saturday following he was to die!

ESCAPE OF ANDREWS AND wOLLAM.
 But Wollam was not drowned. He spent the day in much anxiety and sus- pense, and when night came he cautiously left his hiding place and worked his way along the river on the very front of Chatta- nooga, till he came across canoe which he borrowed for the occasion-without seeing the owner-and rowed down stream all night. This was swift mode of pro- gression. As soon as he saw 0 sign of dawn he sought Q retired place, sunk the lowed him to proceed. This he did daily for week. Twice he was saved if he had but known it. Gen. Mitchell had constructed an extemporized gunboat with which to patrol the river, and twice Wollam passed within hail of it. But he had heard nothing of any such Union craft being on the river, and imagined it to be somo Confederate boat, perhaps searching for him. In the dark it was not easy to see any indications of it's char acter. So the poor boy crept cautiously by in the shadow of the shore without be- ing discovered.
 But at last he made the mistake that Wood and Wilson had made long before. He imagined that he was safe, and went boldly forward in the daytime. One more nights journey by boat, or half that time put in on foot directly northward, would have carried him safely beyond the border. But as he was going forward, congratu- lating himself on having succeeded so we'll, @ band of Confederate cavalry, who were making Q raid into Mitchel's terri tory, saw him, and, procuring boat with several pair of Oars came out to meet him. Wollam saw his danger, and there was 0 hot chase, but the advantage was all on their side. He was retaken, and as usual tried to deceive them as to his char acter; but a Lieut.. Edwards, who had been with the party who captured him the first time, identified him, and he was re- united with his comrades in Atlanta.
 When Andrews was brought back to Chattanooga a scene of much apparent barbarity followed. His escape had ex- cited great rage and produced most ter rible consequences at Knoxville, which will be narrated hereafter. But they were now determined to give him no further opportunity of snatching their cherished vengeance from their hands. He was put down in the hole with the other prisoners, and all access to the yard was denied. Of course no other visitors could see them, The guard was stimu- lated to renewed diligence. But as chains and handcuffs had proved intellectual, something more secure was devised. From the shop of William Lewis, a col ored blacksmith, a man was brought over and taken down into the dungeon, who | riveted a pair of heavy iron letters around his ankles. Dorsey and Wilson, who

which the island was covered, and again ascended a tree. For long time he found secure concealment here, his foes being frequently under the very tree. They finally concluded that he must have got back over the strip of water to the mainland, and slowly returned to seek him there Two little boys who had only followed for curiosity were all that lin gered behind.
 One of the boys ,ened to look up, and said to the other tt he saw 0 great bunch on tree. second looked to sec what it was-sl ed his position looked again and exc ned that it was O man! They cried out alarm, and thus announced their discovery to their friends on shore. The latter instantly returned, and Andrews, seeing himself discovered the story is almost too pitiful to be told dropped from the tree, ran to the lower end of the island, seized a small, dead log, and with a limb for @ paddle pushed into the stream, hoping to reach the opposite shore before he could be overtaken. So far as the island pursuers were concerned he might have succeeded; but there was another party with skiff lower down the stream, who showed out to meet him. The helpless man could do no more, and was taken.
 The struggle had been one of almost hopeless agony. He had eaten nothing since Sunday afternoon, and it was now 2 o'clock on Tuesday. His back was blis- tered by exposure, unprotected, to the sum- and his feet were covered with bleed ing gashes. He said that he felt so wretched and miserable that the thought of certain death, to which he then re- signed himself, had no further terror. Wollam's attempt to escape was for a time more fortunate and skillful than that of Andrews He broke through the guards and ran the gauntlet of hasty shots without injury. Soon he reached the river bank and not wishing to attempt the passage in the growing light, hit upon the happy expedient of making the enemy believe that he was across. To this end he threw off his coat and vest, dropping them on the river bank and then waded a little way in the water to throw the hounds off the scent; then quietly slipping back, hid himself in dense thicket of canes and rushes. He soon heard the hounds and men who were pursuing on the bank above and all about him. He could hear the words they uttered, they were so close. At length they found the clothing and concluded that he had taken to the river. They crossed over and searched with their hounds along the waters edge on the other side for the place he had come out. AS might be expected the dogs failed to find the exit, and after due consultation they concluded that he was drowned, which being a satisfactory termination, they returned.
